Orak Grotto Making Camp Possible
For Kids of All Abilities

The Orak Grotto’s annual Tag Days recently raised $1,300 that supported scholarships for CARE for Children’s day camp (which was held the 12th, 14th, 19th and 21st of this month), as well as scholarships for specialty camps, all for children with developmental and physical disabilities.

During the day camp, held at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford, CARE kids took part in inclusive activities such as open gym, crafts, adaptive swimming, gross motor sessions and field trips; as well as a day at Pine Acres Country Club for adaptive golf with PGA Pro Kirk Stauffer.

The donation will also enable 10 children to attend camps, including Camp JJ and Woodlands Youth and Teen Sports Camp.
